Description of the Related Art Elevator emergency calls are used when passengers are trapped in an elevator due to an abnormality in the elevator, so that the passengers can notify the outside person such as an elevator manager of the situation and ask for help. Intercoms are usually installed in elevators and building management rooms, and these intercoms are elevator emergency call devices.

Therefore, the elevator emergency call is a very important function, and the elevator emergency call device is frequently checked by the elevator manager and the inspector of the elevator maintenance company.

However, no matter how normal the elevator emergency call device is, it will be meaningless unless there is a manager who receives the elevator emergency call, and passengers of the elevator will feel uneasy.

However, in recent years, for example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 53-6, so as to be able to deal with such an absence of a manager.
In 6654 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 54-55946, an elevator emergency notification device is proposed.

According to the elevator emergency call device according to the above-mentioned proposal, when an elevator emergency call occurs and the administrator or the like does not respond for a certain period of time, the elevator emergency call is automatically connected to the external management company to make a call. .

[0007]

The elevator emergency call device according to the above-mentioned prior art is to connect to a remote management company via a telephone line to make a response to an emergency call, and an operator of the management company. Needs to take prompt action to eliminate the anxiety of passengers in the elevator. However, if the operator was late in responding to the emergency call or after the response was completed, passengers trapped in the elevator were worried until they were rescued from the elevator.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a building remote monitoring device capable of eliminating the anxiety of passengers trapped in an elevator.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a building remote monitoring apparatus for receiving an elevator emergency call via a telephone line, wherein the building receives the elevator emergency call when the elevator emergency call is received. When the operator of the remote monitoring device cannot accept the emergency call for the elevator or when the operator makes an arbitrary input regarding the voice output from the building remote monitoring device, any voice output is selected from a plurality of voice outputs and switched. A voice output switching command means for converting a command to a voice output, and a voice output for notifying a voice of a specific voice output from a plurality of voice outputs to an elevator emergency call via a telephone line when receiving a switching command from the voice output switching command means It is achieved by providing means.

[0010]

According to the present invention, when an elevator emergency call is received through a telephone line and the operator cannot respond to this immediately, this state is automatically detected and the voice of the required message is sent, or after the operator finishes handling. A specific voice is transmitted to the intercom in the elevator car through the telephone line by the voice output switching command unit that automatically selects a voice such as music by performing a predetermined operation. As a result, it is possible to broadcast a specific message, music or the like to the intercom in the elevator car.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a building remote monitoring apparatus showing an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a building remote monitoring device that receives an elevator emergency call from the outside via a telephone line 1 includes a reception / transmission processing means 2, a call response means 3, a monitoring processing means 4, an unsupported measuring means 5, a voice output means. 6, the input means 7, the output processing means 8 and the voice output switching command means 10. The voice output means 6 is composed of a plurality of voice outputs 6-1 to 6-n, and the output processing means 8 has Is connected to the display unit 9a and the printer unit 9b.

When an elevator emergency call is generated and the elevator emergency call is received by the reception / transmission processing means 2 of the building remote monitoring device via the telephone line 1, the reception / transmission processing means 2 is received.
Sends the received data to the monitoring processing means 4. Then, the monitoring processing means 4 decodes the received data,
It is determined that the elevator emergency call is made, and this is sent to the output processing means 8 as an elevator emergency call occurrence signal. When the elevator emergency call occurrence signal is input, the output processing means 8 judges this signal and sends the output data to the display unit 9a and the printer unit 9b, so that the display unit 9a displays a screen showing the elevator emergency call occurrence. Then, the printer unit 9b prints when the elevator emergency call occurs.

The operator of the remote monitoring apparatus for the building sees the prints on the display section 9a and the printer section 9b, and responds by using the keyboard or the mouse of the input means 7. As a result, the input means 7 sends a corresponding signal to the monitoring processing means 4, the monitoring processing means 4 judges the corresponding signal, and sends an operation start signal to the call responding means 3. The call response means 3 judges this operation start signal and connects with the transmission / reception processing means 2 so that the elevator emergency communication for exchanging voices between the intercom in the elevator car and the handset of the call response means 3 of the building remote monitoring device. You can talk. By these operations, the operator can respond to the elevator emergency call.

Next, a case will be described in which the elevator emergency call is output to the reception display unit 9a and the printer unit 9b by the building remote monitoring device, but the operator cannot respond.

The monitoring processing means 4 uses the received data to
When it is determined that the elevator emergency call is generated, the elevator emergency call generation signal is sent to the output processing means 8 and at the same time, the elevator emergency call generation signal is sent to the unsupported measuring means 5. The non-corresponding measuring means 5 inputs the elevator emergency call generation signal and makes a judgment, and at the same time, starts the timed measurement. Then, when the predetermined time period specified in advance is measured, the non-corresponding measuring means 5 sends a non-corresponding signal to the voice output switching command means 10. Audio output switching command means 1
When 0 detects an unsupported signal, it outputs a preset voice output command signal to the voice output means 6. As a result, the voice output device 6, which is a voice synthesizer or a recording / playback device, transmits a voice output of a predetermined message corresponding to the voice output command signal to the transmission / reception processing device 2, and the reception / transmission processing device 2 Calls the elevator emergency call via telephone line 1 to the intercom in the elevator car.

Further, a case where a predetermined input operation is performed from the input means 7 after the operator responds to the elevator emergency call will be described.

When the monitor processing means 4 receives an input signal of a predetermined operator's input operation from the input means 7, the input processing means 4 judges the input signal and, if it is a voice output request signal relating to voice output, outputs it to the voice output switching command means 10. The voice output request signal is transmitted. When the voice output request signal is input, the voice output switching command means 10 decodes the voice output request signal and sends a predetermined voice output command signal to the voice output means 6. As a result, the voice output means 6 outputs the voice output 6-1 such as a preset message or voice corresponding to the voice output command signal.
6-n is transmitted to the reception / transmission processing means 2, and the reception / transmission processing means 2 performs an elevator emergency call via the telephone line 1.
Flow to the intercom in the elevator car. If the operator responds while the unsupported measuring means 5 is measuring the time limit, a reset signal is sent from the monitoring processing means 4 to the unsupported measuring means 5, and as soon as the unsupported measuring means 5 detects this reset signal. , Reset the timed measurement. Also,
The voice output means 6 receives the voice such as a message or music, which is any of the voice outputs 6-1 to 6-n, and the reception processing means 2
If the operator responds to the emergency call to the elevator during the sending of the voice, or if the operator inputs a predetermined voice output stop process from the input means 7, the monitor processing means 4 sends a voice stop signal to the voice output switching command means 10. Is
When the voice output switching command means 10 detects this voice stop signal, a signal for stopping the voice output is sent to the voice output means 6. As a result, the voice output means 6 immediately stops sending the designated voice outputs 6-1 to 6-n.

As described above, in this embodiment, when the elevator emergency call occurs and is received by the building remote monitoring device and the operator cannot respond immediately due to some circumstances, or when an abnormality occurs in the elevator, the elevator car The passengers and the operator trapped inside respond to the elevator emergency call, and until the response is completed and the passenger is rescued, a preset message or voice such as music is broadcast as an elevator emergency call through the intercom in the elevator car. . Therefore, passengers trapped due to an abnormality in the elevator can relieve anxiety by listening to the broadcast.
